Villasanpaolo Resort & Spa

A wonderful stay at Villa Sanpaolo. Set in beautiful surroundings, our room was exquisite and the bed was very comfortable. The facilities at the hotel are excellent and the staff couldn't have been more helpful to accommodate our needs. Breakfast was delicious with a great choice of fresh produce and we particularly enjoyed the home made yogurt and olive oil. We sat outside and our table had superb views across the valley. The spa is a wonderful experience and very calming after a day of exploring. Thank you to everyone at Villa Sanpaolo for making our stay so memorable. We very much hope to return next year.

Excellent stay all round. Staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Restaurant food was excellent, some of the best meals we had in Italy. Pool area was great for quiet relaxation. Comfortable quiet room. 10 minute drive to San Gimignano. Our best hotel in 2 weeks touring Tuscany.

Just got back from 5 heavenly days spent in Tuscany, our stay was made more memorable by the hotel staff at Villa San Paolo Resort, from the moment we arrived we were looked after, Sara at Reception was especially helpful and welcoming. The food in Lampolla restaurant was exceptional, always presented beautifully. We were on the half board option, which gave us a three courses choice, either Antipasti/starters, Primi/first course, Secondi/Main and a Dessert. All fairly big portions, some traditional Tuscan specialties. Bread was always brought to the table alongside their own Olive oil for dipping, which was the best i've ever tasted. I would have loved to have taken some home with me, but only had hand luggage! Special mention to Leonardo, who helped us choose the best Chianti! he was attentive and welcoming, even when at times, was rushed off his feet. Breakfast was ok, a lot of choices. We were lucky enough to have a table every evening looking out on the spectacular view. The Suite we had was very spacious and worth the extra money. Had a lovely balcony to sit out on. The bed was extremely comfortable, we had a small issue with the drain in the shower overflowing onto the floor, they did try and sort it out straightaway but it did not seem to work, we just laid towels on the floor and tried to shower quickly! We used the Spa area on our last day as it was raining, nice big area, plenty of loungers and a nice relaxation room, we did not have any treatments. The bar area was very quiet, had one of the best Negronis ever, and some lovely snacks as well. We found it a great area to be in, visited San Gimingnano twice, Volterra, and Sienna, they were all so beautiful. We found Florence far too busy and overcrowded, you need to pre book any visits to Galleries in advance. We drove to Certaldo and parked for free to get the train into Florence, which was 58 minutes. We will return and stay again at Villasanpaolo!
